IPS Ivoclar Porcelain System

A high requirement is placed on ceramic restorations today. Therefore, every ceramist needs a program capable of reproducing top aesthetic results, while offering maximum possibilities for individual skills. The Chromascop shade guide applies for the IPS Classic ceramic material. IPS Classic V is based on the AD shade guide.

The Material
New methods of production and accent on innovation provided the impetus for developing this IPS Classic ceramic line. Stringent quality control of materials and a special distribution system for particle size give IPS Classic its several advantages. For example, feldspar, the raw material, is subjected to chemical analysis prior to selection and checked for impurities. Precise compounding of the components emphasizes properties such as the coefficient of thermal expansion, transformation range and crystal growth. That makes it possible to mix most the materials of IPS Classic and IPS Classic V and process them together.

CTE Coefficient of Thermal Expansion

There are over two thousand alloys available on the dental market worldwide. Because of this large number, it is not possible to test all these alloys with regard to their compatibility with IPS Classic and IPS Classic V. As a result, we are limiting our recommendations to the respective cooling phases of the different alloy types. Generally, the specications of the alloy manufacturer must be observed. An important factor is the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) following the casting procedure in the dental laboratory. The CTE should be measured in the same temperature range as that of ceramic materials. For the CTE of IPS Classic and IPS Classic V the temperature range is given at 25500C as stipulated by EN/ISO 9693. Generally, IPS Classic and IPS Classic V are suitable for use with alloys with a CTE of approx 13.7 to 15.5 x 10-6 x K-1 at 25500C. Depending on the type the composition of the alloy, the ring temperature and the cooling phase in particular have to be taken into consideration. Alloys with a CTE in the lower range (e.g. approx 13.714.5 at 25500C) can be processed with standard cooling. That is, the red object is removed from the ceramic furnace after the ring program with a cooling phase in the open furnace has come to an end. Ceramic furnaces from Ivoclar Vivadent announce the end of the ring program with an acoustic signal.

Long-term cooling depends on the type and the CTE of the alloy used. A longer cooling phase increases the CTE of IPS Classic and IPS Classic V. Repeated rings have a similar effect. Rule of thumb: The higher the CTE of the alloy, the longer the long-term cooling. If long-term cooling is required, it should be carried out after every ring procedure, except when ring the opaquer or soldering.

IPS Lowpaque / IPS Lowpaque V

IPS Lowpaque has been especially developed for use with bio-alloys, most of which demonstrate a low melting point. Given their thermal stability these bio-alloys require a lowring opaquer. It goes without saying, however, that IPS Lowpaque is suitable for other ceramic alloys, in addition to bio-alloys.

IPS Margin / IPS Margin V

The IPS Margin shoulder materials are distinguished for their stability of shape and low shrinkage. They permit the fabrication of aesthetic crown margins that demonstrate optimum accuracy of t. In addition, intensive margin materials are available for the application of special effects in the cervical area. Since the ceramic shoulder is often located supragingivally, particularly in patients suffering from periodontal diseases, utmost shade match is required in this area. Therefore, these materials are intended for individual characterizations and can be mixed with ceramic shoulder materials to imitate the typically bony effect of the root. In addition, the shoulder materials can be mixed with each other and also with the intensive materials (M10M14) to achieve a wide range of shades in the cervical area.

IPS Opaque Dentin / IPS Opaque Dentin V

Considering the variety of different layer thicknesses when processing a crown or bridge and the limited space available, a dentin material with a higher level of opacity and a more intensive shade effect can be very helpful. These materials can be used on their own when space is limited, and they can be mixed with the regular dentin material. They can be used as a substitute for dentin materials when space is limited, as secondary dentin material in the incisal area and the cervical, interdental and lingual area, for bridge pontics and for mixing with the IPS Classic dentin materials.

IPS Classic and IPS Classic V Incisal and Transparent Materials

The shade gradation of the incisal materials complement the Chromascop and the AD shade guides as well as the natural incisal material. They owe their vitality and shade brilliance to the coordinated distribution of grain sizes and the opal effect. The Transparent materials (T1T4) demonstrate a shade gradation similar to that of natural incisal areas. Additionally, the material is available in clear and neutral.

IPS Margin Build-Up Liquid, 60 ml This special build-up liquid facilitates the build-up of ceramic shoulders. Due to a subsequent setting the use of this liquid enables an easy removal of the contoured crown from the working die.

IPS Classic Build-Up Liquid L (Long Term), 60 ml, 250 ml and 500 ml This liquid has been developed for technicians who desire a longer working time and for markets in warmer regions. A component has been added to the Build-up Liquid L which increases the boiling point and enables the liquid to evaporate at a slower pace. This results in a prolonged working time while preserving the excellent modelling properties.

IPS Classic Build-Up Liquid S (Spatula Technique), 60 ml, 250 ml and 500 ml This liquid is particularly suitable for technicians who tend to strongly condense the materials, use blotting material and subsequently reduce the restorations using an instrument. The liquid is easily blotted from the contoured crown. This results in a relatively solid material which can be shaped with a suitable instrument.

IPS Build-up Liquids N, L and S can be diluted with distilled water.

Classic Shade selection

The Chromascop shade guide represents the shade standard for Ivoclar Vivadent products. With the logical arrangement of the individual shades, the Chromascop permits exact and efficient shade determination. The 20 shades are divided into ve detachable shade groups. Once the basic shade has been selected, the correct shade within the shade group can be determined. Ignoring any superuous effects (e.g. cervicals, transparent areas, intensive discolouration in the incisal and dentin

areas, as well as surface characterizations) makes it much easier to determine the correct shade. The following Ivoclar Vivadent products are coordinated with the Chromascop shade guide: IPS d.SIGN IPS Empress IPS Empress 2 IPS Eris for E2 SR Ivocron SR Antaris/SR Postaris tooth line Tetric Ceram restorative materials

Classic Framework design

When designing frameworks to be veneered with ceramic materials, the following parameters have to be observed:
1. Functional support of the veneering ceramic 2. Framework design for ceramic shoulders 3. Framework stability 4. Framework design for bridges 5. Design of bridge pontics 6. Interface between metal and ceramic

26

1. Functional support of the veneering ceramic

The framework should reect the shape of the tooth in a reduced form. Therefore, the framework should be designed in such a way that it supports the cusps so that an even layer of the veneering ceramic can be used in the cusp/ ssure area. In this way, the masticatory forces are exerted on the framework rather than on the veneering ceramic. Furthermore, the framework should not have any sharp angles or edges (see diagram), so that the masticatory forces do not cause delamination or cracks. Sharp angles or edges should be rounded out in the wax-up so that the minimum framework thickness is not compromised. The wall thickness of the metal framework for single crowns after nishing should be at least 0.3 mm and 0.5 mm for bridge abutments (see diagram). For further information, please refer to the Instructions for Use of the alloy being used.

Anterior crowns correct incorrect

Premolar crowns correct incorrect

Molar crowns correct incorrect

27

2. Framework design for porcelain shoulders

When fabricating porcelain shoulders, make sure that the framework is supported by the prepared tooth rather than by the veneer. To achieve this, the framework is reduced to the inner edge of the chamfer or shoulder preparation. In this way, functional support of the framework by the tooth is achieved. A framework that accurately ts on the prepared tooth is essential in order to keep the ceramic material from getting on the inner surface of the framework.

correct

incorrect

3. Framework stability
The dimensions of the interproximal connector greatly inuences the stability of the restoration during the laboratory procedure, as well as the clinical long-term success after cementation. Therefore, the dimensions of the connector areas must be adequate for the alloy being used. (This is especially important if a bio-alloy or high-gold alloy is to be used.) Additionally, the thermal behaviour of the alloy chosen has to be observed when applying the material during laboratory procedures. Single connector width = single stability

Double the width of the connector = double the strength

28

Double the height of the connector at single width = eightfold the strength

4. Framework design for bridges

Frameworks veneered with ceramic materials are subject to thermal stress during the ring procedures and to masticatory stress after cementation. Therefore, the corresponding forces must be transferred to the framework rather than the veneer. In particular, adequate framework thickness must be ensured in the connector area between the abutment and the pontic. The design of the framework must meet the visual, functional and periodontal hygiene requirements of the patient. A functional wax-up reduced to allow space for the ceramic material is the optimum prerequisite. During the ensuing laboratory procedures, the framework is repeatedly exposed to high temperatures. These ring temperatures may cause the framework to distort and compromise the accuracy of t if it has not been properly designed and the required thickness observed. A scallop-type design with interproximal reinforcements will provide the necessary strength needed to avoid deformation of the framework. Also, this type of framework design (e.g. with cooling vents) will ensure even cooling of the restoration once it is removed from the ceramic furnace after ring. This is particularly important if bio-alloys or high-gold alloys are used. The corresponding failures can be prevented as described under point 1. In order to ensure proper oral hygiene with bridges, the design of the interdental areas should be given special attention. Adequate opening of the interdental area should be considered when designing the framework without creating black triangles. In this way, periodontal hygiene may be performed using interdental brushes and dental oss.

29

5. Design of bridge pontics

Bridge pontics are designed taking aesthetic and functional aspects into account as well as oral hygiene. The area of the pontic that contacts the alveolar ridge should be made of ceramic. In order to ensure adequate stability between bridge pontic and the bridge abutments, a palatal and/or lingual scallop is recommended. Furthermore, to ensure even cooling of the bridge pontic that absorbs the most heat, cooling vents are advantageous.

Bridge pontic design - ovate pontics

Bridge pontic design - saddle-type pontics

6. Interface between metal and ceramic

The interface between the metal framework and the veneering ceramic must be clearly dened and, if possible, incorporate a right angle nish line. The juncture between the metal framework and the veneering ceramic must not be located in the contact area, nor on surfaces involved in masticatory functions. Furthermore, make sure that the interface in the marginal area does not come into contact with the gingiva, particularly if a tapered crown margin is designed (e.g. no metal margin and no ceramic shoulder). In this way, irritation of the gingiva can be prevented. The interface in the interdental area should be designed in such a way that cleaning of these areas is possible.

After grinding, carefully blast the framework with type 100 aluminium oxide Al2O3 (Ivoclar Vivadent special jet medium). The required pressure is 1.52.0 bar. Use only disposable, pure Al2O3 to blast the alloy surface. Observe the Instructions for Use of the alloy manufacturer. Blasting improves the mechanical bond. It results in the object surface being roughened and considerably enlarged. In order to prevent inclusions of blasting medium residue in the ceramic, we recommend blasting the alloys with the indicated pressure while keeping the nozzle at a at angle to the object surface. A contaminated metal surface may result in the formation of bubbles during ceramic ring. When nishing the frameworks, the instructions of the alloy manufacturer must be observed at all times. Oxidation is carried out according to the instructions of the alloy manufacturer.

Starting situation
Fabricate a master model or a model with detachable segments on the basis of the impression in the usual manner. It is advisable to apply a sealer to harden the surface and to protect the die. The application of a sealer must not cause any changes in the dimensions of the die. After that, a spacer may be applied in the usual manner.

Fabricating the framework

Fabricating the framework When fabricating the framework, make sure that the minimum wall thickness after nishing is 0.3 mm for single crowns and 0.5 mm for bridge abutments. These dimensions are the prerequisite for the stability of the metal framework and the durable bond between the metal and ceramic material. If the stipulated framework and connector dimensions are not observed, the resulting stress within the material will lead to delamination of the ceramic material and distortion of the framework. Recommended procedure 1. Complete modelling of the anatomical tooth shape 2. Reduce to make room for the veneering materials 3. Waxing of the contact points and connector areas 4. Checking the occlusal and proximal contact points Contouring The framework reects the reduced anatomical tooth shape (functional support of the veneering ceramic). In this way, the ceramic material may be applied in even layers and is adequately supported. For that purpose, the properties of the different alloys (e.g. ring stability) must be taken into consideration. Undersized metal frameworks result in increased shrinkage of the veneering ceramic and require additional corrective rings. If the metal framework is too small, the veneering ceramic is not adequately supported, which may lead to cracks and delamination, particularly in very thick ceramic layers. Finishing the metal framework The cast metal framework is nished using tungsten carbide metal burs or ceramic-bonded grinding instruments. The marginal area of the framework is reduced up to the inner edge of the chamfer or shoulder preparation (labial or circular) to make room for the ceramic shoulder. Use reduced pressure when working with softer alloys. Work in one direction only to avoid overlapping and inclusions in the metal surface. Do not use diamond grinding instruments. Diamond particles may be trapped in the alloy and cause bubbles in the ceramic material during ring.

Schematic diagram of the blasting direction Correct angle for blasting the alloy surface

Before the oxidation ring, clean the metal framework using a brush under running water. Then, thoroughly clean it with steam or in the ultrasonic cleaner. Allow the framework to dry after cleaning. Oxidize the framework according to the instructions given by the alloy manufacturer. Provide ample support for the framework on the ring tray. This is particularly important for long-span bridges. After oxidation, carefully check the framework for porosity or irregular oxide layer. Renish and reoxidize if necessary.

31

Some alloy types require pickling after oxide ring and/or blasting of the oxide layer (observe instructions of the alloy manufacturer). After that, thoroughly clean the framework with steam or in the ultrasonic bath. Oxidation can be considered a 'cleaning ring' and is also used to check the quality of the framework surface.

1st ceramic margin shoulder ring

A ceramic margin shoulder can be fabricated on the metal framework after the opaquer ring, if the necessary space has been provided during nishing. First, isolate the stone die with IPS Margin Isolating Liquid and then, after drying, with IPS Classic Ceramic Isolating Liquid. After that, generously apply the IPS Margin material in the desired tooth shade in the cervical area in the shape of a drop (i.e. the outer surface of the ceramic material is given a convex shape) and dry.

correct

Tip When designing a ceramic shoulder (particularly for bridges), the Margin material may be applied slightly higher up in the proximal areas. This will reduce the interdental shrinkage during the subsequent dentin and incisal rings.

incorrect

For aesthetically exacting work, eight Intensive Margin materials are available. They may either be mixed or applied alone. Subsequently, the framework with the applied and dried shoulder material is carefully removed from the die.

Important: Please consider the different ring parameters of the margin shoulder rings when using IPS Classic Opaquer or IPS Lowpaque.

34

2nd margin shoulder ring

After the ring, the margin shoulder may have to be slightly adjusted by grinding. The accuracy of t (sinter shrinkage) has to be reestablished by means of a 2nd margin shoulder ring. Use the same Margin materials as for the 1st margin shoulder ring for that purpose. First, however, isolate the die again with IPS Classic Ceramic Isolating Liquid. Then, supplement the missing areas by carefully applying the margin material in the space resulting from the 1st margin shoulder ring, thus providing optimum accuracy of t of the ceramic margin shoulder. After that, complete the margin shoulder, dry, carefully remove the framework from the die, and place it on the ring tray.

1st dentin and incisal ring

Before layering the dentin and incisal materials, sealing the model is a very important working step. In this way, the ceramic material is prevented from drying out or sticking to the model. Use the IPS Classic Model Separator I, followed by the IPS Classic Ceramic Isolating Liquid to seal the stone die and the adjoining areas of the model.

Important Please do not forget to consider the different ring parameters of the 2nd margin shoulder ring as well when using IPS Classic Opaquer or IPS Lowpaque.

To achieve an optimum bond between the ceramic materials and the opaquer surface, apply the IPS Opaque Dentin or Dentin material in small increments, particularly in the cervical and interdental areas (for bridges) and slightly roughen it. In this way, the adaption of the Deep Dentin or Dentin materials on the opaquer surface is enhanced.

Layered IPS Classic Dentin material, where the mamelon shape is only outlined ...

In order to achieve true-to-nature shade effects in areas where space is limited, IPS Opaque Dentin materials are used. They are directly applied on the opaquer layer. For pontics and crowns margins thinning towards the metal, IPS Opaque Dentin material of the appropriate tooth shade is applied in the cervical or basal area to enhance the shade.

Depending on the patients situation, an individual and simple build-up using Mamelon, Effect and Transparent material in the incisal third can be made to achieve the best possible aesthetic result. The palatal fossa of the restoration is covered with IPS Opaque Dentin orange, the marginal ridges are lined with Dentin material and nally, they are covered with Incisal and Transparent material. Please make sure to overcontour the restoration, so that the actual tooth shape is achieved after the ring.

IPS Opaque Dentin layering to enhance the shade in the cervical area

Next, outline the mamelon area with a layer of Dentin material. Another option is to contour the full anatomical shape of the tooth. If this procedure is used, the contoured crown has to be reduced in the labial, incisal-mesial and distal areas. The mamelon shape is, once again, only outlined. Irrespective of the method used, make sure to provide adequate space for the subsequent application of the Incisal and Transparent materials.

.then, Incisal and Transparent material is applied in small portions and the anatomical shape is completed by means of over-contouring.

Condensing the ceramic surface (after contouring) using a large, dry brush, makes it more homogeneous, which prevents the ceramic from pulling away from the margin. After lifting the bridge from the model supplement the contact points with dentin and incisal materials. Before ring, the individual units must be separated using a thin blade and cutting through the ceramic down to the opaquer. Moreover, a visual check must be made to make sure that all areas are properly covered with ceramic prior to ring.

36

2nd dentin and incisal ring

After the rst dentin ring, the restoration is nished and cleaned. After that, any decient areas are supplemented with the same materials used for the 1st dentin and incisal ring. The interdental areas and proximal contact points must be given special attention. Subsequently, conduct the 2nd dentin and incisal ring following the ring parameters indicated below.

Clean the restoration thoroughly before the 2nd dentin and incisal ring. Polishing beads must not be used under any circumstances.
Once the contact points have been provided, the bridge restorations are separated in the interdental spaces down to the opaquer using a sharp instrument (e.g. thin scalpel, razor blade).

Provide adequate support for bridges on the ring tray. Position the ring tray in the furnace only after the head has completed its opening sequence (once the buzzer has sounded). The completed restoration is now placed on the ring tray. Please provide adequate support. The ring tray should be positioned in the ring chamber only after the head is completely open and the buzzer has sounded. Fire the restorations with the following parameters:

Preparing the restoration for glaze ring

Prepare the restoration for glaze ring by providing surface textures, such as growth lines and convex/concave areas.

Stains and characterization ring

To apply shade corrections and individual characterizations, a wide shade range is available. Shade corrections with IPS Shade, IPS Shade V and IPS Stains-P These stains can be red in a separate stains ring. Small shade adjustments and individualized characterizations can be red in a glaze ring. IPS Shade and IPS Shade V These dentin stains are used for subsequent shade adjustments of IPS Classic restorations. They are used for surface staining and for internal shading of the layering materials.

Providing a true-to-nature surface texture including growth lines and convex/concave areas.

Depending on the working habits of the user, the prominent areas can be prepolished using silicone polishers.

Note If too much IPS Shade Material is added, the structure of the material can change (e. g. distribution of grain size), which has a negative effect on the ceramic construction. Clean the restoration thoroughly before the stains and characterization ring. Polishing beads must not be used under any circumstances. Remove the desired amount of IPS Shade/ IPS Shade V from the syringe and mix with IPS Classic Glazing and Staining liquid to the desired consistency. Apply IPS Shade/ IPS Shade V in the cervical area and the body of the restoration. Check the shade adjustment achieved with the help of the shade guide. Avoid pooling or applying too thick of a layer. More intensive shades are achieved by several staining procedures, not by applying thicker layers. If the desired shade is not achieved, repeat the stain ring using the same ring parameters. If only minor shade adjustments are required, they may be done during the glaze ring.

Tip: Natural surface textures may be made visible with the help of gold and/or silver dust. Subsequently, the restoration is cleaned with steam so that the surface is free of dirt and grease. Make sure that the entire gold/silver dust is removed.

Note: Finishing ceramic restorations results in grinding dust. Avoid inhalation. Use an appropriate suction equipment or protective mask.

IPS Stains-P Remove the desired amount of IPS Stains from the syringe and mix with IPS Classic Glazing and Staining liquid to the desired consistency. Apply individualized characterizations with IPS Stains-P on the ceramic surface, e. g. discoloration and enamel stains.

Glaze ring
For the glaze ring, you have several options, depending on the desired working procedure: Glaze ring without IPS Classic Glazing material for a trueto-nature, silky-mat gloss. Glaze ring with IPS Classic Glazing material for a high gloss. The following basic rule applies: The longer the holding time, the higher is the gloss.

Note If too much IPS Stains-P Material is added, the structure of the material can change (e. g. distribution of grain size), which has negative effects on the ceramic construction.

Method 1 Glaze ring without glazing material Slightly wet the restoration using IPS Classic Glazing and Staining liquid and apply shade adjustments and/or individualized characterizations. Position the restoration on the honey-combed ring try and re. If the glaze ring is conducted without glazing materials, the stains should not cover too large an area.

These ring parameters represent standard values applicable to the P100, P 200, PX 1 and EP 600 Combi furnaces from Ivoclar Vivadent. The temperatures indicated also apply to furnaces of older generations, such as the P20, P80, P90 and P95. If one of these furnaces is used, however, the temperatures may deviate by 10 C/18 F, depending on the age and type of the heating muffle. If a non-Ivoclar Vivadent furnace is used, temperature corrections may be necessary. Regional differences in the power supply or the operation of several electronic devices on the same circuit may make adjustments of the ring temperatures necessary. Ceramic furnaces of other manufacturers often feature opening mechanisms different from that of Ivoclar Vivadent furnaces. Therefore, the ring conditions may also differ. Make sure that these varying ring conditions are taken into account when working with IPS Classic. Remember to calibrate your furnace regularly.
